Doesn't that already happen with the existing Taxi service?
No form is transport is 100% safe, just look at buses and trains.
Christ, trains got so bad, they had to make a special Police Force for them.
Uber is not exempt from the same problems that can occur with normal Taxis, but its not promoted that way.
Uber do back ground checks on drivers and require all insurance to be in place. Still anyone could be drunk or on drugs.
And its was never meant to be a proper Taxi Service, its just a reliable, convenient way to get around.
Just look at the traffic congestion in morning peak hours in Melbourne, with the majority of cars only having a single occupant.
If it each person took a passenger and got paid for it, what a win win for our roads and drivers.
Agreed, its sad and unfair on Taxi drivers that paid a small fortune to be a protected and licensed business.
No one wants to see their protected industry compromised or threatened.
And i'm sure, no individual wants to see the demise of the traditional Taxi service either.
I guess its about having options.
Plenty of people will never use a ride sharing service, just as plenty never want to use a Taxi.
Anyway, why have't the Taxi Service invented an App that shows locations of Cabs in a similar way as Teski with predetermined payments ?
Or have they?
